Framed!

I keep moving things around/tweaking the decor in the 2nd bedroom/office/music room. The most recent addition is one of my favorites, and one that has a special meaning as well.

As part of a wedding gift, my talented Grandma Polly let us pick out one of her original watercolor paintings. After looking through tons of beautiful, incredibly colored paintings I settled on this one. It is smaller than almost all of her other works, but I just fell in love with it at first sight!

Well, I finally got around to framing the picture this past week! Sadly, it has been sitting in a drawer wrapped in cellophane for way too long because I couldn't find the right size frame. It turns out, I just wasn't looking in the right place!

I visited JoAnne fabrics last week and found this frame there. I love it. The detail around the edges is just perfect, and I love how it displays my Grandma's painting beautifully while not detracting from it! Plus, it was 40% off and less than $20 bucks. Score!

One of the reasons I love this painting so much is because I can remember walks down tree-lined pathways just like this. My family loves to go out and enjoy nature (especially this time of year!), and my parents have some wooded paths by their house that are just like this.

Ah. Now, every time I go in the 2nd bedroom I smile when I see this! It's finally starting to feel like a space that is comfortable and inspiring.

What a lovely painting and so nice to have art which has a special meaning hanging on your walls. The frame is a perfect choice too, lets the painting speak for itself.loveLori xohttp://loriswardrobeblog.blogspot.com/

About this Blog

My name is Mikalah (mih-KAY-lah). I named this blog after a little porcelain pig that I found at a thrift store for 50 cents (isn't she adorable?). I started blogging shortly after getting married, in order to chronicle our trials and triumphs in decorating and fixing up our first home. Two years later, it has become a space where I also delve into fashion, faith, design, and just life in general. In short, Posy the Porcelain Pig has become my creative outlet. I hope you enjoy what you see!
